rival and backed by capital of $S,00o,-
900. 1t will be an undertaking OF great
magnitude to organize company strong
enough to cope with such competitor,
and under the most favorable circum-
stances soEe time would necessarily
elapse before the competition could be
made effective. The big monopoly has
numerous plants in the city and subur-
ban towns, its mains traverse every
street and Its working appliances
are first class. It Is not to be
wondered at, therefore, that the Chicago
people view the situation with more or
less apprehension and wonder what the
outcome is to be. Chicago is really the
second city in the country, and there will
be other eyes than those of the Chicago
ties to note the results. The monopoly
gas company will have an exceptionally
favorable opportunity to demonstrate the
soundness of the argument above quoted
that these gigantic combinations give the
consumer or the public better service and
cheaper rates. There was never falrer
field than is presented in Chicago now,
and if the monopoly people are wise they
will take care that their side of the ques-
ton does not get a setback. Be it ever
so judicious and just in its policies and
aspirations, O monopoly at best incurS
suspicion and a certain amount of preju-
dice, and no matter where its field of
operations, it's shortcomings serve to in
tensify popular sentiment, which is
already lrritated to degree that bodies
yet more drastic legislation than has been
enacted, bearing on monopolies.

DETROIT, Mich, March 12.-Large
quantities Of opium have been shipped
recently from Detroit. In some way the
customs authorities learned of the fact.
They ascertained that no such quantities
had passed their hsnds as were being sent
out of the city regularly. : careful in
vestigation revealed to them the fact that
opium was being brought to America by
way of British Columbia, shipped thence
to Ontario only to disappear and find its
way TO Detroit. 4 81 arch for the offend

taken before United States Commissioner

the charge of smuggling. The customs
authorities say that by the smuggling of
this opium the government has been
swindled out of nearly 100000 customs
duties. The opium was sent out from
this city usually to California, labeled
"glass ware" "drugs," etc. On It's re-

day half-holiday law. During the hot
weather, when business is always dull
Saturday, they were willing enough
to sacrifice the then business hours and

however, they feel as if they could no
longer spare the commissions they
might make in those hours. Henry
Clews led off some days ago with
a notice which he conspicuously posted
to the effect that his office would keep
open Saturdays as on other days. Dur
ing the past week the subject has been
so extensively discussed that the gov

took the matter up at their last meeting.
No result was reached by the commit

practically no opposition to rescind-

the sentiment was found to be strongly
in favor of this move. 1t is very prob
able that any such action by the Stock

trick which has just been played on the
American authorities by the captain of

was seized in Behring Sea last
month by the United States

and fishing tackle were taken away. A
prize crew was put on board and the
captain ordered to navigate the schoon-

obeyed for the time, but, after
having parted company with
the Rush coolly headed the
Adams, tor Victoria, B. c., where she ar

to proceed to Sitka, as it is understood to
have consisted of only two men, and the
crew of the Adams, which had not been
removed, was too strong for them.
